Is Montaro RE worth it?
Montaro RE is worth it if…
- you want a game that fits into the gaps of a day, one short run at a time
- you like silly, self-aware humor and do not mind that the joke is the whole game
- you enjoy chasing a higher score in a runner with simple, tight controls
- you find a sprinting Shiba Inu in a costume genuinely hard to say no to

A runner with exactly one idea, and it commits
Montaro runs by himself. Your entire job is the jump: time it right and you clear a charging chicken, hop a banana peel, or land on a shop awning. Time it wrong and the run ends, which takes minutes, not hours, so trying again is the natural next move.
The streets are randomly generated, mixing residential blocks with stations and town centers, so no two runs follow the same route. Coins you collect unlock costumes for your doge, sixteen of them, none of which change how the game plays. They just make a fast dog look better, which is honestly the point. The pixel art is bright and expressive, the soundtrack is a pleasant high school anime sort of tune, and the whole thing stays cheerful even while birds are ending your run.
What should you know before playing?
Is it hard to control?
Not really. The dog runs on his own and a single click makes him jump, so there is almost nothing to learn. The challenge comes from timing: birds charge at you, bananas roll unpredictably, and the game speeds up as a run goes on. It starts gentle and gets busier.
Do the costumes do anything?
They change how your doge looks, and that is all. You buy them with the Doge coins collected during runs, and there are sixteen to work through. If you enjoy unlock hunting for its own sake, that is the progression here; if you want outfits with gameplay effects, this is not that kind of game.
